Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for generating a parking space for a vehicle. The invention also relates to a system for generating a parking space for a vehicle. The invention also relates to a computer program.
Background
Publication DE 102009028024 a1 shows a parking guidance system for navigating a vehicle seeking a parking space to an empty parking space.
Publication DE 102015201205 a1 shows a method for passenger parking.
One of the important challenges facing modern or large cities is providing ample parking space. The continuing trend for this is that more and more people (usually with their own motor vehicles) are moving to densely populated areas.
This can result in an excessively long time to find an empty parking space for the vehicle. Typically, motor vehicle traffic seeking parking spaces accounts for a significant portion of the total mass of urban traffic.
Disclosure of Invention
The object on which the invention is based is to provide an efficient solution for the efficient generation of parking spaces for vehicles.
The object is achieved by the invention. The invention also provides an advantageous configuration of the solution.
According to an aspect, there is provided a method for generating a parking space for a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
determining whether a need for a parking space of the vehicle exists in a geographical area comprising the traffic lane,
in the case of a parking space requirement, it is determined whether a lateral region of the roadway can be used as a parking space,
-if so, determining the side region of the traffic lane as parking space, and
-signaling: the determined side areas are open for parking the vehicle.
According to another aspect, there is provided a system for generating a parking space for a vehicle, the system comprising:
a processor for ascertaining whether there is a need for a parking space of the vehicle in a geographical area comprising a traffic lane,
-wherein the processor is configured to find, in the case of a parking space being required, whether a lateral region of the traffic lane can be determined as parking space, and if so, as parking space, and
-signaling means for signaling: the determined side areas are open for parking the vehicle.
According to another aspect, a computer program is provided, which comprises program code for performing the method for generating a parking space for a vehicle, when said computer program is run on a computer, for example on a processor of a system.
The invention is based on the recognition that the above-mentioned tasks can be solved in the following manner: the lateral regions of the traffic lane are opened for parking the vehicle, wherein at least two, for example three (see the following exemplary embodiments) conditions must be fulfilled before the respective opening:
on the one hand, there must be a demand for parking space for the vehicle within a geographical area.
On the other hand, current traffic conditions must allow the side regions of the traffic lane to be used no longer for driving, but for parking.
I.e. as soon as these two preconditions or conditions are fulfilled, the side region is determined as parking space, wherein this is signaled to the traffic accordingly.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved in particular: additional parking spaces-defined lateral areas-may be generated for the vehicle.
The following technical advantages are thus achieved: an efficient solution for efficiently generating parking spaces for a vehicle may be provided.
The side areas that are open as parking spaces may also be referred to as resulting parking spaces.
A vehicle in the sense of this description is for example: motor vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, so-called Pods, i.e. automated road vehicles, small carriers, "Shared Mobility Devices", cars, trucks. If the term "motor vehicle" is used, the general term "vehicle" is to be understood throughout.
The lateral regions in the sense of the present description are delimited on the longitudinal sides of the traffic lane by the edges of the traffic lane.
According to one embodiment, the width of the side edge region is at least 2.5m, in particular at least 2.75 m.
According to one embodiment, the width of the side edge region is at most 3.75 m.
According to one embodiment, the width of the side edge region is between 2.75m and 3.75 m.
In the sense of the present description, a parking space represents, for example, the following field: the vehicle may be parked or parked on the ground.
If a parking space is already present in the geographic region, in particular on the traffic lane, an additional parking space, i.e. a parking space other than the already present parking space, is thus generated by determining the lateral region as a parking space.
The expression "parking space" may be replaced by the expression "additional parking space" if a parking space is already present within the geographical area, in particular on the traffic lane.
A particular advantage of the invention is particularly present just under the following circumstances: the automated vehicle may be parked at the edge of the roadway in front of the vehicle already parked in the parking space already existing. The parking process (umbarkvorgang) can be carried out automatically, as is explained in more detail below, for example, in conjunction with fig. 3.
If the automated vehicle is parked on a traffic lane in front of the vehicle already parked in the parking space already present, the required restocking process is set, coordinated or controlled according to one embodiment. Such a re-parking process is also provided, for example, if an automated vehicle parked in an additional parking space does not allow parking in an already existing parking space, in particular an already existing free parking space, of an already existing parking space.
If additional parking spaces are generated in front of the parking spaces already present, then
An embodiment provides that, before the side regions of the carriageway are opened for parking the vehicle, a third condition must also be met (see above embodiment): only automated vehicles which can be controlled remotely or can be driven autonomously are allowed to park in the additional parking space. This embodiment is further described later.
According to one embodiment, the signaling includes sending the message to a network address over a communications network.
The communication network comprises, for example, a radio network and/or a WLAN network.
Thus, the participants of the communication network can be made aware in an advantageous manner of: the side regions of the carriageway are opened for parking the vehicle.
The network address is associated, for example, with a terminal, in particular a mobile terminal, for example a mobile telephone.
The terminal device is for example comprised by a motor vehicle, in particular an automated motor vehicle.
According to one embodiment, the signaling is performed by means of an activated display and/or an activated signpost and/or an activated street lamp, as will be further explained later.
According to one embodiment, signaling: the automated vehicle is only allowed to park in a certain lateral area.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved, for example: the use of defined lateral zones is efficient, since the automated vehicles can be parked without the driver, which results in the vehicles being parked so closely next to one another that there is no longer room for getting on or off and/or loading or unloading. Since such space is not needed if no more drivers are located in the vehicle, who have to alight after parking the vehicle.
In addition, in the case of an automated vehicle, the parking process can be advantageously implemented such that the automated vehicle can be parked at any time, for example, in such a way that after the parking process, a particularly efficient and optimized use of the parking space, i.e. of the determined lateral regions, can be made.
In the context of the present description, an automated motor vehicle is understood to mean, in particular, a motor vehicle which can be driven in an unmanned manner, i.e. without a human driver.
The automated motor vehicle can be controlled remotely, for example.
The automated motor vehicle can, for example, travel autonomously.
According to one specific embodiment, it is provided that, if the determined lateral region is located next to a further parking space next to the carriageway and the automated vehicle parked in the determined lateral region prevents a further vehicle parked in the further parking space from exiting the parking space, the automated vehicle is automatically controlled upon detection of a desire for the further vehicle to exit the parking space in such a way that the automated vehicle is guided driverless from its current position into a target position in which it no longer prevents the further vehicle from exiting the parking space.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved, for example: the side areas may also be located in front of other parking spaces. This is because the automated vehicle can be driven to the side whenever necessary in order to be able to exit the parking space for a motor vehicle which is to exit the parking space.
According to one embodiment, the number of free parking spaces in the geographic area and the number of vehicles seeking parking spaces in the geographic area are determined, wherein the determination is performed on the basis of the number of free parking spaces in the geographic area and the number of vehicles seeking parking spaces in the geographic area: whether or not there is a need.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved, for example: it is possible to efficiently find whether there is a demand for a parking space of a vehicle.
According to this embodiment, the demand and the supply for available parking spaces are determined.
For example, the number of free parking spaces in the geographical area can be determined using parking space occupancy sensors which are assigned to the parking spaces in the geographical area and which monitor the parking spaces. These parking space occupancy sensors detect the current occupancy state of the parking space and transmit the detected occupancy state to the system, for example, which can then ask for the number of free parking spaces in the geographical area.
The number of vehicles seeking a parking space may be found, for example, as follows: the vehicle seeking the parking space informs through the communication network that it is seeking an empty parking space. The vehicle seeking the parking space sends, in particular, its request for finding the parking space to the system. The system, which is a participant of such a communication network, can thus efficiently ask for the number of vehicles seeking a parking space based on the respective requests of the vehicles seeking a parking space.
According to one specific embodiment, traffic data are determined, which indicate the traffic flow in the geographic region, wherein the determination is carried out on the basis of the traffic data: whether or not the side area of the traffic lane can be determined as a parking space.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved, for example: it is possible to efficiently find out whether or not the side region of the traffic lane can be determined as a parking space.
According to one embodiment, it is provided that a check is made as to whether the current traffic situation permits the opening of the lateral region of the traffic lane as a parking space.
Since the side regions of the traffic lane are determined to be used as parking spaces, the traffic lane is narrowed. This may adversely affect the flow of traffic. For example, stagnant traffic or even congestion may occur.
The following advantages are achieved in particular by taking into account the traffic flow: it is possible to effectively avoid congested or stagnant traffic due to the side areas determined to be used as parking spaces.
The traffic flow comprises in particular a traffic flow on the traffic lane.
According to an embodiment, the signaling comprises an illumination of the determined region.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved, for example: traffic can be efficiently optically signaled where the determined area is.
For illuminating the determined region, for example, one or more lamps are provided, for example, at the edge of the roadway.
According to a further embodiment, the signaling comprises activating an optical signal transmitter, in particular an electronic road sign.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved, for example: the open area can be efficiently optically signaled to traffic.
The optical signal transmitter is, for example, an electronic road sign. Thus, the electronic road sign can be used to inform traffic, for example, by means of one or more graphic symbols, signs or words: the determined area is opened for parking.
For example, it is provided that the signaling device, in particular the electronic road sign, is arranged in front of the determined region with respect to the direction of travel or on the traffic lane.
According to one embodiment, the signaling comprises the projection of a limiting element, in particular a guideboard, a guardrail or a bollard, from the carriageway.
The following technical advantages are thereby achieved, for example: the signaling can be performed efficiently.
In particular, efficient, specific or physical limitation or delimitation between the determined region and the remaining traffic lane is thereby achieved.
This means, in particular, that the limiting element is lowered into the traffic lane if the lateral region is not opened for use as a parking space. The limiting element is only extended from the traffic lane when the lateral region is opened as a parking space.
According to one specific embodiment, the system for generating a parking space for a vehicle is designed or set up to carry out or carry out a method for generating a parking space for a vehicle.
According to one specific embodiment, the method for generating a parking space for a vehicle is carried out or executed by means of a system for generating a parking space for a vehicle.
System features are particularly analogously derived from corresponding method features and vice versa.
This means in particular that the technical function of the system is likewise derived from the corresponding function of the method and vice versa.
According to one specific embodiment, the signaling device is designed to signal: the automated vehicle is only allowed to park within the determined side area.
According to one specific embodiment, the processor is designed to guide the automated vehicle parked in the lateral region from its current position into a target position in which the automated vehicle no longer obstructs the exit of the other vehicle parked in the other parking space from the parking space.
According to one specific embodiment, the processor is configured to determine the number of free parking spaces in the geographic area and the number of vehicles seeking parking spaces in the geographic area, wherein the processor is further configured to perform the determination based on the number of free parking spaces in the geographic area and the number of vehicles seeking parking spaces in the geographic area: whether or not there is a need.
According to one specific embodiment, the processor is designed to determine traffic data which indicate a traffic flow in a geographic region, wherein the processor is also designed to carry out the determination on the basis of the traffic data: whether or not the side area of the traffic lane can be determined as a parking space.
According to one embodiment, the signaling device comprises one or more lamps or one or more lighting devices, for example light emitting diodes.
In one embodiment, it is provided that a graphic element, for example a graphic symbol sign or an arrow, which shows the determined region, is projected onto the traffic lane.
For this projection, for example, a projector is provided at the edge of the roadway. Such projectors are arranged, for example, on the street lamp posts of street lamps arranged at the edge of a traffic lane.
According to one embodiment, the signaling device comprises an optical signal transmitter, for example an electronic road sign.
According to one embodiment, the signaling device comprises a limiting element, which can be extended out of the traffic lane or retracted into the traffic lane.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a method for generating a parking space for a vehicle.
The method comprises the following steps:
determining 101 whether there is an (additional) need for a parking space of the vehicle in a geographical area comprising the traffic lane,
in the case of a parking space requirement, a determination 103 is made whether a lateral region of the traffic lane can be used as parking space,
-if so, using the side area determination 105 of the traffic lane as parking space,
-signaling 107: the determined side areas are open for parking the vehicle.
Step 101 for example comprises finding the number of free parking spaces within said geographical area and the number of vehicles seeking parking spaces within the geographical area. This means, for example, that the supply and demand for parking spaces in the geographical area are determined.
Alternatively or additionally, this can also be done on the basis of previous data, that is to say that, for example, at 9 o' clock (generally at a certain time) on a monday (generally on a certain working day), there is little traffic in the traffic lane (traffic flow less than or equal to the predefined traffic flow threshold value), but there is a very high demand for parking space (demand greater than or equal to the predefined demand threshold value). Thus, for example, it is provided that the lateral area is always open for parking at 9 o' clock on monday.
For example, if supply exceeds demand, then it is determined that: there is no need for parking space.
If it is found that demand exceeds supply, then it is determined that: there is a need for parking space.
Step 103 comprises, for example, ascertaining traffic data which indicates a traffic flow in the geographic region, in particular on a traffic lane. The determination is performed in particular on the basis of traffic data: whether or not the side area of the traffic lane can be determined as a parking space.
According to this embodiment, this means, among other things, checking: determining or opening the side region of the traffic lane as a parking space based on whether the current traffic situation is acceptable
For example, if the traffic flow is less than or equal to a predetermined traffic flow threshold, then it is determined that: the side regions of the traffic lane may be determined to be used as parking spaces.
For example, if the traffic flow is greater than or equal to a predetermined traffic flow threshold value, it is determined that: the side regions of the traffic lane cannot be determined as parking spaces.
Step 107 comprises, for example, activating an electronic road sign which shows that the determined area is open for parking the vehicle.
For example, it is provided that the electronic road sign is arranged in front of the determined region with respect to the driving direction.
Step 107 includes, for example, extending a restraining element, such as a bollard or guardrail, from the roadway. The limiting element is arranged, for example, in front of the determined region with respect to the direction of travel.
According to one embodiment, step 107 comprises sending a corresponding message, i.e. a wireless report (by means of WLAN and/or radio): now, either or already (additional) parking spaces are generated.
Fig. 2 shows a system 201 for generating a parking space for a vehicle.
The system 201 includes:
a processor 203 for ascertaining whether there is a need for a parking space of the vehicle within a geographical area comprising a traffic lane,
wherein the processor 203 is configured to determine, if a parking space is required, whether a lateral region of the traffic lane can be used as parking space and, if so, as parking space,
signaling means 205 for signaling: the determined side areas are open for parking the vehicle.
According to one specific embodiment, the system 201 comprises one or more video cameras which are arranged spatially distributed over the geographic region, in particular over the traffic lane. The video camera monitors, for example, traffic in the geographic region, in particular traffic on the traffic lane.
The processor 205 is configured, for example, to determine a traffic flow based on video images of the video cameras.
The system 201 comprises, for example, a communication interface or a communication module which is designed to transmit messages via a communication network to a network address for signaling purposes. The communication interface or the communication module is for example comprised by the signaling means 205.
Fig. 3 shows an exemplary application scenario 301 according to the inventive arrangements. The system is provided according to an embodiment, which is not shown for the sake of clarity.
Correspondingly, a traffic lane 303 is shown, which is arranged in a geographical area (not further shown).
The arrow with reference numeral 305 symbolically specifies the direction of travel of the traffic lane 303.
The dashed line 307 symbolically delimits a lateral region 309 of the travel lane 303. In the side region 309, which is delimited on the longitudinal side by the roadway edge 310, three automated motor vehicles 311 are parked.
With regard to the direction of travel 305, the further parking space 313 is located to the right of the lateral region 309. The further parking space 313 comprises four parking spaces 315, in each of which a further motor vehicle 317 is parked.
These further vehicles 317 are, for example, also automated vehicles. However, the other vehicle 317 may also be a conventional vehicle, for example. Conventional motor vehicles represent in particular motor vehicles which cannot be driven in an unmanned manner.
To signal traffic on the traffic lane 303: the side area 309 is opened for parking, for example, a guideboard 319 is provided, which indicates the narrowing. Such as a guideboard 319 extending from the roadway 303.
The guideboard 319 is, for example, an electronic guideboard which is activated after determining that the side area 309 is used as parking space and indicates or signals the narrowed-down location for traffic.
For example, an arrow 321 is also projected onto the traffic lane 303, which indicates for the traffic: it must be retracted to the left with respect to the direction of travel 305.
For projecting the arrow 321, for example, a projector is provided at the lane edge 310.
This means, for example, that a projector projecting an arrow onto the traffic lane 303 is activated.
For example, if a desire to exit the parking space of one of the motor vehicles 317 is detected, it is provided, for example, that an automated motor vehicle 311 which obstructs the motor vehicle 317 which is intended to exit the parking space is guided from its current position into the target position in such a way as to be driverless, so that it no longer obstructs the motor vehicle 317 which is intended to exit the parking space in the target position.
A user of a conventional motor vehicle 317 who wishes to exit the parking space can send a corresponding request or a desire to exit the parking space to the system via the communication network, for example.
Fig. 3 shows a communication module 323, which is, for example, part of a system according to the invention, which is not shown in detail here. The communication module 323 communicates with the vehicle, for example, to notify the vehicle to: additional parking space has already been provided here. The vehicle is, for example, a vehicle traveling through an additional parking space.
In summary, the core of the invention is based in particular on the following scheme: this solution generates additional, highly compact parking spaces to the side of the traffic lane, depending on the need for parking spaces and the current traffic flow on the traffic lane or within the geographic region.
An important advantage of the invention is in particular that more parking spaces are provided inside the city, which shortens the search process for parking spaces in an advantageous manner. This makes it possible in particular to reduce the traffic required for finding parking spaces.
Furthermore, it can be advantageously achieved that the traffic flow and the parking space can be divided dynamically adaptively according to the requirements. For example, to think of: night traffic in residential areas is less than day traffic. In residential areas, however, there is often a high demand for parking space at night.
In addition, the solution according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to activate an automated motor vehicle. This is because, according to one embodiment, it can be provided that the determined lateral regions are only open for parking the automated motor vehicle.
